INVENTDR WITNEEIEIEE:

H15 ATTORNEY 6 v 7 eisv a fragmentary detail iperspe'ctive e 2e azzim amy I Be it known that I, Cmo YAw, citizen of the United States, and resident of -Arlington, ;in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented'certainnew and I. nsefnllmprovem ents in Cabinets, of which I the foll-o'wlng is a specification.

From thence ,"the

Each-cross bar 8 is angnler' in cross-section andi'e'xtends from'the lower. endi'of and forward to, a, rear corner post at one end or, side off'theffraifie, and'is secured to said posts "1,, as indicated at 10.

The upper side of each angle-iron 2 is perforatedat 26 (see Fig. fiyfor the reception of screws 27 which pass through said openings from beneath and take into a top panel 28. This panel constitutes an uninclosed to of the cabinet and may be of any suitab e material; the panel bein made of wood in the present instance." he screws 27 passing into the body of the panel 28 secure itto the top of the frame. In the present instance I have provided four cuplikemetal members 29, each centrally apertured to receive a wood screw 30 by which each member is secured to the top of the cabinet. These members 29 are intended to receive the rubber feet of a typewriting machine and prevent an accidental displacement of the machine on the top of the cabinet. Each side or end of the cabinet is closed by a panel 31 of suitable material, wooden panels being employed in the present instance. Each panel 31 is secured at the bottom thereof to the associate cross bar 8 by screws 32 (see Fig. 3). The up er end of each panel 31 is secured to a wooden cleat 33 (see Fig. 4) by screws 34. Each cleat is received in the adjacent angle-iron 2 of the frame. Angle-irons or strips 35 are secured by screws-36 to the top panel and each angleiron bears at one side against the associated side panel and prevents an inward movement of the upper end thereof.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that the body ortion of the cabinet is closed'at top and 0th sides, but is' open at the front, back and bottom and that no places are presented within the body of the cabinet for the accumulation of dust. Each of the hinged receptacles, of which there are two in the present instance, is constructed as follows: Each receptacle embodies in its'construction two rectan lar frames 24 hereinbefore referred to. ach side of the frame 24 is formed as an angleiron from a continuous strip joined at its ends37 (Fig. 3) by. the hinged member 22 which is riveted thereto at bothsides of the joint 37. One of these frames 24 is provided at the top and one at the bottom of each receptacle, and the two frames are united b the side panels 38 of suitable materia, wooden panels being employed in the present instance. These anels inclose their receptacle on three si es, leaving the fourth or only'remaining side open to give access to the receptacle. A similar top panel 39 and a bottom anel 40 are provided for each receptacle. e panels aresecured to the frames and are connected together by screws 41 which, as shown in Fig. 5, extend through openings in the frames .24 .andinto theside and top and bottom panels. 7 Wooden cleats 42are securedby screws42to the side panels of each receptacle, in order to provide supports for shelves 43, which divide each receptacle into several compartments.

The front side of each rectangular frame 24 is apertured to receive a spindle 44, as

shown in Fig. 7. The outer end of the spindle is provided with a knurled head or finger piece 45, whereas the inner end there- Of is connected to a catch or latch 46 adapted to be projected through an opening 47 in the frame 24. This latch is adapted to be received behind the depending flange of the front angle-iron 201 the main frame and thus lock the receptacle which carries said latch in its closed position. 7

From an inspection of Figs. 2 and 3 it will be seen that each of the receptacles 25 is rectangular in cross-section forming a boxlike structure pivoted at one corner on a vertical axis to a side of the cabinet at the front thereof so that each receptacle may swing more than 90 on its hinges forwardly and outwardly from the closed position within the cabinet to an outermost position represented inFig. 2. When'the receptacles are in the open position represented in Fig. 2, the vopen side of e'achfof them is presented to the operator sitting at the front of the typewriter cabinet, so that stationery and other supplies contained within the receptacles are readily accessible to the operator when the cabinet is in use. The top of each receptacle at this time provides a'table-like surface available for use by the operator. It will also be understood more particularly from an inspection of Fig." 3 that when the receptacles are swung into the cabinet the open side of each of them is brought adjacent to aside panel of the cabinet, thus closing each receptacle when it is swung into position in the cabinet. 7 v What 'I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: I 1. A- typewritercabinet, comprising a skeleton open front metallic frame com posed of four legs, an open rectangular top frame supported bysaid legs, horizontal cross bars connecting the lo wer portions of said legs only at the-sides and at the rear, upright diagonal braces connecting said legs, cross bars, and rectangular top frame, a table top mounted on said rectangular frame, and a receptacle for stationery hinged to one of the front legs and adapted toswinginto and out of the cabinet through the open front of the skeleton metallic frame. a

6. A cabinet comprising a body portion; and a receptacle hinged at one corner to swing into and out of the body portion of the cabinet, said rece tacle comprising two ames, a bottom panel secured to one frame, atop panel 'securedto the other frame, and side panels uniting said v frames.

7. A cabinet comprising. a bodyportion; I and a receptacle hinged thereto forimovvement into and out ofsaid body portion, said receptacle comprising two metallic frames each of which is hin ed to the body of e, I cabinet, a top panel etachably connected t one of said frames,-a bottomane'l detachably connected to thexother 0 said frames, and side panels which unite the frames and v are detachably connected thereto.

8. A cabinet comprising a metallic body frame, topand side panels detachably connected thereto; and two receptacles hinged to the body frame to swing into and out of the same, each receptacle comprising two rectangular frames each carrying a hinged member by which the receptacle isf hinged to the body frame, a top panel detacha'bly. se-' cured to one of said rectangular frames, a

bottom panel detachably" secured -to the other rectangular frame, and side panelsv I which unite said rectangular frames.
